Sei Bella’s Luxury Ultra-Moisture Creme Conditioner is excellent for this, says Grace Mahoney, award-winning Boston bridal hairand makeup artist and owner of Blushing Brides. Using a conditioning hair mask is also a great way to increase the health and shine of your hair which will in turn allow your hair to better react with and absorb any hair products that you regularly use.



The Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask offers powerful deep conditioning for hair in need of an intense moisture boost.  The five-minute treatment quickly revives and transforms hair with results that were previously possible only through heat. The mask is formulated with Moroccanoil’s  proprietary argan oil blend, a potent antioxidant rich in vitamins and natural elements that fortify the hair, including Vitamin F (Omega 6), Vitamins A and E, to improve elasticity and protect against free-radicals, and Phenols to shield against environmental stressors.



Whether you’re going for a sleek braid or ponytail, a smooth blowout or voluminous curls, you need to protect and moisturize your locks. Oyin Handmade Hair Dew is a creamy yet lightweight leave-in hair lotion with hydrating aloe vera and castor oil you can use on naked, just-washed hair, or pre or post blow dry.
